pH Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 The trees on the hillside in the background look like someone took three or four bags of different trees and just randomly stuck them in the ground. https://www.railpictures.net/photo/724739/ 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickham Green Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) ......... and what American layout doesn't feature the 'straight out of a tunnel onto a trestle' cliché ??!? At least it's better than a painted backscene of four buffer stop - the wrong way round ! Sligo Station ( building on the left ) May 2013 .

Theakerr Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Watching some videos of Chinese High Speed Trains. The platforms are spotless, airy and in a different way to the UK spectacular. They look just like a model railway before weathering 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not from empty I hasten to add, but it had been left with the water level out of the bottom of the glass. I think it took about two hours to get the level up to a safe point to light up. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted April 5, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 5, 2020 (edited) Oh, I can easily beat that. I worked for a while for a local firm of industrial cleaners who did asbestos stripping and had a contract with the MoD. An aircraft hanger (as opposed to a maintenance hanger) had been asbestos stripped at an airbase 'somewhere in Wales' (if I told you it was St Athan I'd have to kill you) and required the floor hand brushing. There may or may not have been grey painted but completely unmarked aircraft in the hanger, that nobody was supposed to know about, that were fuelled, electrically charged, and armed (not the normal way to park an aircraft) as part of a secret rapid response force, I couldn't possibly say, but I had to sweep the hanger, no electrical or petrol driven equipment allowed because of the obvious fire risk (!). With a bass broom. Slowly so as not to raise a dust. In an NBC suit. With the filtered breathing apparatus. But not with the fan switched on or the battery fitted. With an RAF Regiment Sergeant with an effin' big effin' scary effin' rifle to have lunch with in the little lean-to guardroom outside and to make sure I didn't do anything bad to the aircraft, if there were 5 of them there which of course I couldn't possibly say. I couldn't possibly tell you that they were Panavia Tornados either, so I won't. Took me 5 months, dust bag per day. Didn't mind. no pressure and I had a company swb land rover to play with, and it was summer, so pleasantly cool in there. My minder was a decent enough bloke and good company over lunch. Job could've been done in 2 seconds if they'd let me fire up one of the Tornados that might have been there, I couldn't possibly say, and pointed it's exhaust out the door...

Wickham Green too Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Ah - but was it actually panned at speed or is the backscene / foreground cunningly painted to make us think that it was ??!? 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
